Where do you get your cajun seasoning?

I have a long way to go. We had a leaving do for someone today at lunch. I will start posting what I eat tomorrow. I try to stay LC at lunch. Threw away all the bread. Only at the ham and quiche but left the crust. I did my best. Then I ate my chicken breast with bacon.

Working on the water. I will do a salad for lunch. I need to get my green food in today.

[lou-bi-wan]

My cajun is schwartz I get it from Makro.

Sounds like you did well for lunch Cosmic, it's not always easy but you did it!!

[CosmicMuffin]

I did the best that I could. It was hard. They had some really nice sandwiches. I also tried to stay way from the cheese. Too much is not a good thing.

No bug here!

Started the day with a Boots LC shake 0.5 carbs.

Costa small decaff cappuccino.

Tappas, including olives, chorrizo, cheese, lamb koftas, tahini and prawns.

Oops, and some wine. Now drinking loads of water.

Made to a Body Pump class today though.

[CosmicMuffin]

OK...I am doing better today. I think it might have been something I ate yesterday.

Breakfast Egg Mayo with chives and a bit of onion powder
Lunch More Egg Mayo ( I was tired last night and didn't want to cook)
Dinner Chicken, Onions, Lettuce, tomato, cheese and a bit of sour cream. I really looking forward to dinner. HeeHee

Drinking my water like a fish. On the 2nd liter and hoping to get two more in today. Will start walking tomorrow. Finding time to exercise is very hard. The only I have really early morning and it has just been to cold to make want to get out of bed that early.

[Kissa]

Breakfast a chocolate shake.

Lunch ham and salad, think there was sugar in the dressing.

Lots of water and been too busy to eat this evening. Husband having beans on toast but I am not really hungry now.

[CosmicMuffin]

I have had nothing so far today.
I will have some chicken, wrapped with bacon, stuffed with cheese for dinner. Ohh and sprouts.

Trying to get through the day. I just want to be home. Drinking my water.

[lou-bi-wan]

Oooooooooo sprouts, I luuuurve sprouts but I havent eaten them since New Year, they're a higher carb veggie that I've not added back yet.

You sound a bit down today cosmic, you o.k? Go and have a snack. Yay on the water!!

T: undecided I'll see what I fancy.

Fridays are always a bit up the air, I plan at the weekend what I'm eating for the week but Friday night seems to come and I don't want what's on the list!!

[CosmicMuffin]

Well I might not have spouts. I just a bag in the freeze that needs to be eaten. Ohh well...I will look when I get home.

[CosmicMuffin]

Started at a size 20+ now more a 14 with some 16, 18's and 12's!! I have a pair of jeans that I wore for my graduation that I can get myself into one leg of them . . . when I get to goal that's my piccie to post here

Mad innit!!

[CosmicMuffin]

I think you should be doing a little dance.
When did you start doing doing this?

[lou-bi-wan]

I started my degree with the OU in 1998 and graduated the year before last, so 8 years (health and social care)

I comfort ate for the few months before the ceremony so bought some new trousers the weekend before but on the day they were too tight and with no time to buy new I had to wear my jeans. They are the largest things that I have ever worn

I've kept my largest bra, largest jeans and a black jumper that I used to wear (that was a bit tight around the middle) that I loved, in fact lived and died in . . . I'll post piccies soon

[CosmicMuffin]

We love pictures.
I am looking over your daily menu. You are very good at measuring. I think I need to get back into that habit. Do you write everything down? Besides posting it?

[lou-bi-wan]

I have a little black diary with a week to view, I write everything down . . . BM, whether I've had psyllium or flax, tom, and rough menus, at the end of the day I write in total carbs and calories. I use Fitday too but I was becoming obsessed so I fill in about three days a week just to check my totals.

Did you see my pictures of before and after, if you left click on my name and go into to my public profile and then threads that I started, they are in there . . . don't be frightened

[shykins]

lou u are soo brave posting pictures of yourself.. especially in your bra.. the difference is amazing well done u should be very proud ofyourself

maybe one day i will post my before and after shots

cosmic dont u use fitday?? i found it so useful at the beginning to keep count of everything for me

i love sprouts too. sure they cant do too much damage i didnt realise they were particularly high... i have to avoid nuts cos i always gain with them worse luck

xx

[lou-bi-wan]

Thanks shy, I was just being honest with my pics . . . I can't hide now

I'm going to look up sprouts 'cause I can't remember where I got the info from . . .

I'll get back yo you.

[CosmicMuffin]

Fitday confuses me...I know I need to give it another go.

I can't find the pictures...give me a link.

Do you all eat ham? Or do you think that is too processed?

[shykins]
